Ohio State coach Ryan Day is starting to finally get recognized for being among the elite of college football coaches. CBS Sports agrees.

What Fornelli Says

“I had been one of the voters holding Day back last season because I took a more patient approach. I felt that Day had inherited a pretty nice program from Urban Meyer, and I wanted to see how he maintained it. Well, two playoff berths and a title game loss later, and I’d say he’s doing pretty well. Hell, you could say he’s doing some things better than Meyer. Ohio State is easily one of the three best programs in the country, and Day has only made that more obvious since taking over.”

By the way, the three coaches ahead of Day according to Fornelli are Lincoln Riley, Dabo Swinney, and Nick Saban. Not sure we agree with Riley being ahead of Day, but it’s hard to argue against the other two at this point.
